GH: July 2024 Discussion Thread

Didn’t she cheat on Chase after bonding with Michael during the fake relationship story? Drew could go either way. He is more of a cypher than a character at this point.

My feeling about the chaos bts is that all three of them are responsible. Mulcahey is a character based writer, and most of these characters were generic at best. Korte has been on the teams that stripped most of the personality from the show. And Frank manages the show in a way that makes storytelling difficult. What has played out onscreen has been challenging due to all three and the nature of a shotgun wedding.

I feel for Maurice. Sonny is supposed to be volatile. If he cannot play that (and shouldn’t be forced to) then what are we doing with Sonny anymore? He clearly needs a character reset that makes him less intense. I know he has threatened retirement for a couple of years, but based on what I have seen from State of Mind he also spirals when he doesn’t have work.

The truth is that the Sonny’s meds situation and Pikeman should have been moved into another phase, and both were just stalled out and spinning wheels. Same with the stupid Heather Webber story. Instead the show has focused on Finn’s family, Drew, and Blaze. No wonder the ratings have yet to truly stabilize.

She cheated on Chase, and then cheated while marrying under false pretenses. Willow is a cheater through and through.

I was actually surprised the show still went there with Drew/Willow.  Sasha knows all the dirt now lol.  I still find the Nina/Drew/Willow stuff the most interesting and I basically hate all three characters so that's something.

I really don't care Cody just blurted the truth out or how it was delivered.  It's been so long.  I am glad it's out there.  

As far as Sonny,  I don't really find his 100th breakdown terrible compelling and I do feel for MB if he's struggling.  There is no reason Sonny can't take a long break in an institution so MB can have some time off lol.   I just don't know where you go with Sonny anymore at this point.  I don't see him settling down and turning into a family man, so mob wars and/or breakdowns are all we get these days.

 

[Liberty City]

I'm not surprised they went there, but I am surprised Sasha saw it the moment it happened. I would've thought this would be a "secret" no one knew about for months on-end.

[carolineg]

Nina spilling to Sasha probably should have tipped me off.   I wonder if Sasha will say anything to Willow.  Is Willow just cheating to cheat?  Aren't her and Michael perfectly happy and fine?

[Liberty City]

She doesn't want happy and fine anymore, LOL! Mess. She wants that Q last name.

[carolineg]

I get it.  She's married to Michael.  It's just hilarious she's just bored and wants to sleep with sexy congressman to be Drew lol.  The show isn't even trying to make Willow sympathetic.   I can't believe I am going to defend Michael, but he's put up with a lot from her lying, cancer stricken behind.   Michael is a controlling jerk though, so I don't feel too bad.

[Contessa Donatella]

Right. They could've given the Millow family some problems if they'd wanted to. Instead they are happy, content, no problems on the horizon, even. I think that Willow is dazzled by who she thinks Drew is. Every single solitary time she says it was Drew who saved her life, I scream at the TV, or computer screen, NO! HE DIDN't!!!! DREW saved no one in Greenland or at home. As a matter of fact, in Greenland, I believe someone had to save him. But, anyway, I think Willow's hero worship of Drew is what's behind this on her part. On his part, hey, he's a guy. 

[Khan]

I agree.

Like I said before, in another thread, Sonny doesn't know how to be anything BUT a criminal.  If he ever left the mob, he'd just go back to being what he was before - a two-bit strip club owner - but he wouldn't be as successful, because both time and the sex industry have passed him by.

[Liberty City]

I could say more... but it may hurt some people, LOL! But, let's just say I think she desires something Drew can give over Michael.

What a great time to reveal she craves attention so much that she faked her cancer. That was probably the greatest board generated plot about GH and I am still here waiting for it to be used by the show. A modern day early Karen Wolek (without the deep bench of talent both on camera and bts).

[Khan]

His tanning lotion?  His bottle of Grecian Formula?

Yes, lol!

[Vee]

Like many characters on the show, Willow has almost no prior character to be 'out of character' against so that complaint doesn't hold water. I agree it's very simple: She's hot for Drew and has been for a long time. People are like that IRL. It's not always about logic.

[Liberty City]

I'll put it midly: hotter sex.

[AbcNbc247]

Might I suggest a metaphor to explain it?

Such as, “Michael can’t play his instrument” or “Michael can’t get his car started” or “Michael can’t dock his boat” 

Yeah I don’t particularly like Michael either

But I do hope that Willow has more respect for him than his sister did for Cam
